Newbie question!

Hello everybody!
I got couple of questions...

I workout 3 times per week mon wed fri and I like to do it first thing in morning so my question is:
Is it ok to do it on empty stomach and if it is not what I should eat and second question is can I drink creatine on empty stomach before workout?

Always eat before your workout. This is because when you wake up in the morning your body is waking up from a fast which comes froma an average 7 hours sleep. When you workout without eating you are more prone to catobolism. Eat and work out 1 hour to 2 hours later. Take the creatine prior or after your workout.

Thanx for reply ... but my problem is that I have busy schedule and only time that I can work out is if I go and work out early morning 7am take shower and run to work ... is there anything that you guys know that I could pop into stomach 6:55 am and work out for 50 min without waiting 1 hour to work out....

Thank you !

can I drink creatine on empty stomach before workout?

I like to split my creatine up. 5 grams in the moring upon rising on an empty stomach. With an empty stomach this should help to increase absorbtion. Then 5 grams post workout with whey protein.

So do you just have creatine on empty stomach and work out or you eat as well?

well it is good to take with a protien shake after your workout but some people may do it vice versa. Or split it. Half a shake before, half a shake after. See how that works. I say this because the creatine will help you during your workouts to lift better.
